Elder Justice Efforts in Sonoma County & Current Trends in Frauds and Scams – Learn about how scams target Americans and how to respond, while also learning about Elder Justice efforts in Sonoma County.

Donata Mikulik is the Elder Justice Coordinator for Sonoma County with the local non-profit Senior Advocacy Services.  Since January 2017, she has worked with community partners to improve systems responding to Elder Abuse while increasing public awareness and promoting elder justice. This presentation discusses signs to watch out for with our neighbors and loved ones, as well as common frauds and scams that increasingly target older adults.  Often, financial exploitation or falling for scams is the starting point for other types of abuse so we’ll have a conversation about what to watch out for.  Donata Mikulik earned her Bachelor’s in Anthropology form UC Berkeley and her Master’s in Public Administration from the University of San Francisco and has spent over 15 years working in the non-profit and public sector promoting community engagement.
